".... Frankly, I think that’s one reason he tweets. He forces their hand...."

Just now figuring that out?

This whole tweet storm over The Squad is about Trump forcing the democRATS to either side with or come out against these four women. It's deliberate set-up to force their hand.

Trump doesn't do things willy-nilly like the MSM complains he does.

He tweets to communicate directly to his supporters instead of having his message filtered through the biased sieve that is the MSM.

But he also tweets to for strategic and tactical reasons. He forces the opposition to take sides they might not normally take because, heaven forbid, they don't want to appear to be agreeing with Trump. So they step right into the cow pies he has set for them on the battlefield.

He is a master at this technique.

Nope. It harkens back to the first thing I liked about him, way back at election time in 2016 - he is the ultimate troll. He forces their hand.

And so often the average joe only sees a fleeting headline and the story disappears. But once Trump tweets about it, they have to talk about it.

And I like to see it this way: Trump is not “tweeting”. He’s communicating directly with the people. And this allows him to force the vernacular beyond the lowly press conference.
